I'm on the Mediterranean diet which is mostly plant based and fish based, you can only have meat dairy and sweets for special occasions. There is not calorie counting, just healthy eating. I just started yesterday though. --TaytayLovesU

Peachgirl,you want to diet? Simple! Just eat on a maybe 2000 calories a day diet,exercise at least an hour a day,and don't make eating sweets a habit.--Skystream

I used to be self consious. I used to hurt myself. But I stopped. Now my depressions coming back, it's not like I want to be anorexic again, I just don't eat as much anymore. I'm never in the mood to. I've lost about 5 pounds in the past month, and sometimes i wonder what it would be like to hurt myself again. :l counceling isn't really helping either. --UndeadSolder

@peachgirl988 With the running problem, try running for short periods at a time, and then walk when you get tired. Then switch back to running, so on and so forth. You can even ask someone to go with you for support (if wished). But if you get tired that easily, I would tell an adult because that MIGHT be a problem (but I don't know)--AnimeArtist8
